Everything felt like it was happening excruciatingly slowly last week. Like, if the crocuses and snowdrops were removed, it would still look almost exactly as it did last month – but of course, that’s not the reality at all: how it looks, isn’t always as it is…

My answer to the question is really only clear now – if I were that tree fungus, of course I’d be that slow, for that would be me being me. How clear this all is from my perspective of a week later (and asking the question). x
